本文件适用于设计用于物理治疗的超声波设备，该设备包含一个在0.5MHz至5MHz频率范围内产生连续或准连续（如突发音）波超声波的超声波换能器。本文件仅涉及每个治疗头使用单平面非聚焦圆形换能器的超声物理治疗设备，产生垂直于治疗头表面的静态光束。本文件规定:-基于参考测试方法的超声物理治疗设备输出的测量和表征方法；-超声波理疗设备制造商根据参考测试方法规定的特性； -超声物理治疗设备产生的超声场安全指南；-基于常规测试方法的超声物理治疗设备输出的测量和表征方法基于常规测试方法的超声波理疗设备输出方面的验收标准。超声物理治疗设备的治疗价值和使用方法不在本文件的范围内。IEC 63009规定了使用频率范围为20 kHz至500 kHz的超声波的超声波理疗设备。

This document is applicable to ultrasonic equipment designed for physiotherapy containing an ultrasonic transducer generating continuous or quasi-continuous (e.g. tone burst) wave ultrasound in the frequency range 0,5 MHz to 5 MHz. This document only relates to ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment employing a single plane non-focusing circular transducer per treatment head, producing static beams perpendicular to the face of the treatment head.This document specifies:- methods of measurement and characterization of the output of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment based on reference testing methods;- characteristics to be specified by manufacturers of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment based on reference testing methods;- guidelines for safety of the ultrasonic field generated by ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment;- methods of measurement and characterization of the output of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment based on routine testing methods;- acceptance criteria for aspects of the output of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment based on routine testing methods.Therapeutic value and methods of use of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment are not within the scope of this document.Ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment using ultrasound in the frequency range from 20 kHz to 500 kHz is dealt with in IEC 63009.
